Now, though, viewers can get excited to see Holzhauer returning to Jeopardy! for the Tournament of Champions to see if he could possibly vault himself even higher on the list of All-Time Winnings, where he sits in 3rd place behind Jennings and grand champ Brad Rutter.
That total was just $58,484 short of topping Ken Jennings’ grand total of $2,520,700 for regular season wins.
In the end, James Holzhauer’s winnings came out to $2,464,216, which includes the $2,000 he won for coming in second place in his final episode.
